TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates, generally, to analyzing various physicalroutines. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a systemand a method for recommending a physical routine to a person.

BACKGROUND

Physical routines, like exercises, a workout or a training program,physical activities, sports in general include any bodily activity thatenhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health and wellness.It (routine/exercise, workout, training, activity) may be performed by aperson for various reasons including strengthening muscles and thecardiovascular system, honing athletic skills, weight loss ormaintenance, as well as for the purpose of enjoyment. Typically, theevaluation of the effects and compatibility of different physicalroutines with a person has been done by specialized coaches and physicaltrainers who recommend the best suited physical routine for the personbased on their expertise and evaluation. Such coaches and physicaltrainers generally provide such results with varying degrees of success,based on heuristics and intuition. Further, this approach is time andlabour intensive, and thus expensive. Thus, there exists a need forautomation in the process of recommending the best suited physicalactivity and routine to the user. Furthermore many people struggle onfinding which routine/sport/activity is best for them. As an additionalproblem to finding which routine (selecting one sport over another) isbest, it is difficult to know which (training) routine is best within agiven/selected sport. For example, should a person run 10 km every dayor would 5 km running every day be better. At present, none of theexisting techniques or methods provide a way for recommending a physicalroutine which is suited for the person in comparison to another physicalroutine.

Therefore, in the light of the foregoing discussion, there still existsa need to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks associated with knowntechniques for recommending a physical routine to a person.

The system and the method of the present disclosure aims to provide anautomated, or at least a semi-automated, solution for recommending aphysical routine to a person. Herein, the physical routine refers anyform of physical activity performed by the person for a particularperiod of time. For example, swimming for one hour, running for thirtyminutes or, a combination of cycling for fifteen minutes and liftingweights for fifteen minutes can be all considered as different examplesof the physical routine. Furthermore, the system and the method of thepresent disclosure seeks to provide techniques for evaluating theeffects of the physical routine on the person in order to make adecision on the recommendation of the physical routine.

The system comprises a physical sensor configured to measure anintensity of the physical routine. Herein, the physical sensor refers toa sensing arrangement which is configured to sense data related to awide range of parameters related to some physical activity. Theparameters may include distance travelled, acceleration, time spent,calories burnt, steps taken, heart rate of the user etc. The physicalsensor may include one or more of sensing arrangements such as a GPS,accelerometer, pulse meter etc. In order to sense one or more of thewide range of parameters. The sensed data collected by the physicalsensor is then used to measure the intensity of the physical routine.Herein, the intensity of the physical routine corresponds to themeasurable effects which the physical routine is going to have on theperson performing the physical routine.

Optionally, the physical sensor is installed in an electronic deviceassociated with the person. Herein, the electronic device can be forexample a smartphone or a smart watch which is associated (likephysically associated, being worn) by the person. Herein, the physicalsensor which is configured to measure the intensity of the physicalroutine, is installed on the electronic device which is associated withthe person for the sake of the convenience of the person to sense therequired data for enabling measurement of the intensity of the physicalroutine. As an alternative or additional embodiment, a physical sensormight be considered to comprise methods and arrangements to collectinformation, describing perceived exertion that is a measure ofsubjective loading that a user can give via an user interface. I.e inaddition of measuring physical parameters also subjective parameters canbe measured for example via user interface (“how do you feel in range of1 to 5?” type of questionnaire.

The term “routine” in present disclosure may refer to the certain way toexecute training for a certain duration and means having “set ofexercises”, or “a training session” or “a workout” comprising loadingtaking relevant time in accordance with the typical ways of performingsuch exercises or training. As a first example of a first routine isrunning each day between 11-12 AM 5 km and a second routine could beswimming saturday afternoons for a period of 30 minutes. A secondexample could be that a first routine is running 5 km with speed of 10km/hour every second day and a second routine would be running 10 kmwith speed of 10 km/hour every other second day. A third example wouldbe a first routine is running in general and a second routine is cyclingin general.

Furthermore routine can refer to a physical session, physical loading orother physical discipline. Routine typically refers to something aperson does repeatable but can in present disclosure refer to a singleworkout as well. Indeed one of the targets is to recommend a routinewhich leads to beneficial behavior for a person such as weekly or dailyroutine of physical activity of certain type, duration and intensity.The routine can be a training program or set of training programs. Itcan also be a cycle of training for specific time such as four weeks fortraining with a first routine followed by a training with anotherroutine.

The system comprises a biochemical sensor configured to determine alevel of a biochemical marker of the person. Herein, the biochemicalsensor refers to a sensing arrangement which is configured to sense datarelated to a biological process involving certain chemicals, i.e., tosense data related to a biochemical. For example, a suitable sensingarrangement which is configured to measure the levels of one or moresuitable hormones in a human body can be considered as an example of thebiochemical sensor. The system of the present disclosure employs thebiochemical sensor with the purpose of determining the level of thebiochemical marker in the body of the person where the level of thebiochemical undergoes changes due to performing some physical activityby the person.

Optionally, the biochemical sensor is implemented as a lateral flowstrip. Herein, the lateral flow strip refers to the assay or strip whichis intended to detect the presence of a target molecule in a liquid.Subsequently, the lateral flow strip is used as a medium to sense thelevel of the biochemical marker of the person. The biochemical sensormay also be an electrochemical sensor. The electrochemical sensor can bea sensor which is arranged to be sensitive to target molecule in abiochemical way, and to be sensed electrically. Alternatively biosensormay use spectrophotometric principles, or methods based on targetmolecules mass and/or electrical properties or known reactions withother molecules such as enzymes, co-enzymes or target moleculemetabolites.

The system furthermore comprises a processing arrangement. Herein, the‘processing arrangement’ refers to a structure and/or module thatincludes programmable and/or non-programmable components configured tostore, process and/or share information and/or signals relating to thegenerating the search string. The processing arrangement may be acontroller having elements, such as processors, memory, and the like.Typically, the processing arrangement is operable to perform one or moreoperations for processing of the sensed data from the physical sensor aswell as the biochemical sensor. Optionally, the processing arrangementincludes any arrangement of physical or virtual computational entitiescapable of enhancing information to perform various computational tasks.Further, it will be appreciated that the remote server may beimplemented as a hardware server and/or plurality of hardware serversoperating in a parallel or in a distributed architecture. Optionally,the processing arrangement is supplemented with additional computationsystem, such as neural networks, and hierarchical clusters ofpseudo-analog variable state machines implementing artificialintelligence algorithms. In an example, the processing arrangement mayinclude components such as a memory, a processor, a data communicationinterface, a network adapter, and the like, to store, process and/orshare information with other computing devices, such as the dataprocessing arrangement, the database arrangement, a user device.

Optionally, the processing arrangement is implemented as a computerprogram that provides various services (such as database service) toother devices, modules or apparatus. Moreover, the remote server refersto a computational element that is operable to respond to and processesinstructions to perform the ranking of items in the list in view of therequest. Optionally, the processing arrangement includes, but is notlimited to, a microprocessor, a microcontroller, a complex instructionset computing (CISC) microprocessor, a reduced instruction set (RISC)microprocessor, a very long instruction word (VLIW) microprocessor,Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) or any other type of processingcircuit, for example as aforementioned. In some examples, the processingarrangement may include components such as memory, a processor, anetwork adapter and the like, to store, process and/or share informationwith other computing components, such as a user device, a remote serverunit, a database arrangement, to offload some of the processingoperations and/or for providing results of the processed data to theuser (e.g., the person for which the data was sensed).

Herein, in some examples, the system elements may communicate with eachother using a communication interface. The communication interfaceincludes a medium (e.g., a communication channel) through which thesystem components communicates with each other. Examples of thecommunication interface include, but are not limited to, a communicationchannel in a computer cluster, a Local Area Communication channel (LAN),a cellular communication channel, a wireless sensor communicationchannel (WSN), a cloud communication channel, a Metropolitan AreaCommunication channel (MAN), and/or the Internet. Optionally, thecommunication interface comprises one or more of a wired connection, awireless network, cellular networks such as 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G mobilenetworks, and a Zigbee connection.

The processing arrangement is configured to measure, via the physicalsensor, a first intensity of a first physical routine performed by theperson. Herein, the first physical routine refers to a specific physicalactivity which is to be performed by the person according to the choiceof the person itself. For example, the person may choose to swim as thefirst physical routine. Subsequently, while the person is performing thefirst physical routine, the processing arrangement uses the physicalsensor to measure the first intensity of the first physical routinebeing performed by the user. As discussed, herein, the first intensityrefers to the measurable effects of the first physical routine on thebody of the person performing the first physical routine. For example,for the person swimming as the first physical routine, the firstintensity can be in the form of the calories burnt by the person wherethe first intensity is to be measured using the physical sensor. Theterm “intensity” is not limited only to measuring a physical parameter(such as a parameter defined in standard units (SI units)). In someembodiments it might also include parameters that may contribute to theimpact of a routine. Such parameters include training companions (a petor a friend), air quality, time spent indoors/outdoors, beauty of theenvironment, nutritional status, and so on. Optionally, these parameterscan be used as determinants of a routine (i.e. biking indoors vs.outdoors, jogging alone vs. jogging with a dog, morning swimming withoutbreakfast or with a breakfast, and so on). Technically such parameterscan be collected using for example context aware sensors (cameras as anexample) or using user input via an user interface.

Optionally, the processing arrangement is configured to record a firsttime duration of the first physical routine, as performed by the person.Herein, the first time duration of the first physical routine refers tothe time period for which the first physical routine is being performedby the person. For example, the processing arrangement may record theperson swimming for one hour as the first time duration of the firstphysical routine.

The processing arrangement is then configured to determine a firsttraining impulse value corresponding to the first physical routine asperformed by the person based, at least in part, on the measured firstintensity thereof. Herein, the training impulse refers to a means ofquantifying training load and stress which is imparted on the personperforming some physical activity. Subsequently, the first trainingimpulse refers to the training load which is imparted on the person byperforming the first physical routine.

Optionally, the processing arrangement is configured to calculate thefirst training impulse value based on the measured first intensity andthe recorded first time duration. Herein, the first training impulse isdetermined using a formula where the measured first intensity ismultiplied with the time duration for which the first physical routineis performed. For example, if the first intensity is measured to be 100units and the recorded first time duration is of 30 minutes, then thefirst training impulse is determined to be 3000 units. In an example,the first training impulse value is calculated based on the heart rateof the person. For instance, the first training impulse value (FirstTRIMP) is calculated as ‘ΣHRR’, where:

HRR=(Training HR−Resting HR)/(Max HR−Resting HR);

wherein, ‘Training HR’ is heart rate measured during the physicalroutine, ‘Resting HR’ is the resting heart rate of the person (i.e.,before performing the first physical routine); and ‘Max HR’ is themaximum heart rate of the person (which can be estimated for exampleusing formula of 206−0.7×age, or determined while performing the firstphysical routine or any other prior physical routine).

In one example, TRIMP=time (mins)×HRR×y, Where; time=duration (mins),HRR=fractional elevation in HR or HR reserve as described above, andy=weighting factor. The weighting factor y increases with increasing HRRwith a more steady rise when HR approaches Max HR. There are models thatdefine y for example based on gender (providing different equations formen and women).

As a further example of calculating a training impulse value is usingmeasured accelerations during the training and known weight of theperson. Yet another example is using distance and elevation distanceduring the training. For example if during a skiing elevation change of100 meters took place this can be used to determine training impulse bycalculating for example change in potential energy in respect toduration of time of climb (in essence power).

Optionally, the first training impulse is determined at a first momentof time and the second training impulse is determined at a second momentof time, and wherein the second moment of time is at least 12 hoursapart from the first moment of time but within at least 120 hours fromthe first moment of time. Herein, the first moment of the time refers tothe instance of time at which the first training impulse is determinedafter the completion of the first physical routine. Herein, the secondmoment of the time refers to the instance of time at which the secondtraining impulse is determined after the completion of the secondphysical routine. Subsequently, it is to be noted that the time periodbetween the first moment of time and second moment of time, i.e.,between determining the first training impulse and determining thesecond training impulse should not be less than 12 hours and should notexceed 120 hours. As an example a time period between the first momentof time and second moment of time should be between 12, 14, 16, 18, 20,22, 24, 48, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 hours and to 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24,48, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120 hours.

As an example, if the second physical routine is performed shortly afterthe first physical routine, such as within 12 hours, it is probable thatthe person who performed the routine has not fully recovered from thefirst physical routine and the results of the second physical routinecan be affected by the first routine. Additionally, it is preferable tohave a nightly sleep between the routines to stabilize the biomarkerlevels after the first routine. On the other hand, if the time intervalbetween the routines is very long, such as longer than 120 hours,biomarker baseline levels may have been changed by other factors so thatthe comparison between the routines is no longer valid.

Optionally the method of the present disclosure, wherein each of thefirst time duration and the second time duration is at least 10 minutes.In essence, each of the first physical routine and the second physicalroutine are to be performed for at least a minimum of 10 minutes.Optionally, both the first and second physical routines are performedfor a maximum of 150 minutes. The benefit of this arrangement is thatthe expected biochemical response to the physical routine is big enoughto be reliably detected (after about 10 minutes) and the biochemicalresponse can be expected to increase up to about 120-150 minutes ofduration of most physical routines. As an further example the first orthe second duration of time is between 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80,90, 100, 110, 120 minutes and 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110,120, 130, 140 150 minutes.

The processing arrangement is further configured to determine, via thebiochemical sensor, a first level of a biochemical marker of the personassociated with completion of the first physical routine, as performedby the person. Herein, the first biochemical marker refers to the changein levels of the biochemical in the body of the person after thecompletion of the first physical routine by the person. Herein, thechanges in the levels of the biochemical in the person occurs as aresult of the performance of the first physical routine by the person.

In the present implementation, the processing arrangement may be furtherconfigured to record, via the biochemical sensor, a first baseline levelof the biochemical marker of the person, the first baseline level beingrecorded prior to starting of the first physical routine by the person.Herein, the first baseline level of the biochemical marker refers to thelevel of the biochemical in the person's body, recorded before theperson performs the first physical routine. For example, the person mayuse the biochemical sensor before performing the first physical routineto record the first baseline level of biochemical marker to be 10 units.

In the present implementation, the processing arrangement can configuredto record, via the biochemical sensor, a first closing level of thebiochemical marker of the person within a predefined time interval aftercompletion of the first physical routine, as performed by the person.Herein, the first closing level of the biochemical markers refers to thelevel of the biochemical in the person's body, recorded after thecompletion of the first physical routine by the person. Herein, thepredefined interval of time refers to the time period after thecompletion of the first physical routine at which the first closinglevel of the biochemical marker is recorded. The predefined interval oftime may be chosen according to the preferences of the person. Forexample, the person may use the biochemical sensor 10 minutes afterperforming the first physical routine to record the first closing levelof biochemical marker to be 30 units.

Optionally, the predefined time interval is in a range of 1 minute to 30minutes. In an example, the predefined time interval may be 1 minute, 2minutes, 3 minutes, 4 minutes, 5 minutes, 6 minutes, 7 minutes, 8minutes, 9 minutes, 10 minutes, 11 minutes, 12 minutes, 13 minutes, 14minutes, 15 minutes, 16 minutes, 17 minutes, 18 minutes, 19 minutes, 20minutes, 21 minutes, 22 minutes, 23 minutes, 24 minutes, 25 minutes, 26minutes, 27 minutes, 28 minutes, 29 minutes up to 2 minutes, 3 minutes,4 minutes, 5 minutes, 6 minutes, 7 minutes, 8 minutes, 9 minutes, 10minutes, 11 minutes, 12 minutes, 13 minutes, 14 minutes, 15 minutes, 16minutes, 17 minutes, 18 minutes, 19 minutes, 20 minutes, 21 minutes, 22minutes, 23 minutes, 24 minutes, 25 minutes, 26 minutes, 27 minutes, 28minutes, 29 minutes, 30 minutes.

Optionally, the processing arrangement is further configured tocalculate the first level of the biochemical marker based on therecorded first closing level of the biochemical marker and the recordedfirst baseline level of the biochemical marker. Herein, the first levelof the biochemical marker corresponds to the difference of the firstclosing level of the biochemical marker and the first baseline level ofthe biochemical marker. For example, if the first closing level isrecorded to be 30 units and the first baseline level is recorded to be10 units, then the first level of the baseline marker is calculated tobe 20 units.

Optionally, the first level of biochemical marker includes one of: afirst level of testosterone, a first level of cortisol, a first ratio ofthe first level of testosterone to the first level of cortisol. That is,the first biochemical marker may correspond to either one of the firstlevel of cortisol or the first level of testosterone, or the first ratioof the first level of testosterone to the first level of cortisol.Herein, the first level of testosterone refers to the certain level oftestosterone present in the person's body at the time of beingdetermined via the biochemical sensor, where testosterone refers to ahormone present in the human body. Herein, the first level of cortisolrefers to the certain level of cortisol present in the person's body atthe time of being determined via the biochemical sensor, where cortisolrefers to a hormone present in the human body. In a preferred example,the first ratio of the first level of testosterone to the first level ofcortisol is utilized which is obtained by dividing the first level oftestosterone to the first level of cortisol.

The processing arrangement is further configured to calculate a firstresponse value for the first physical routine based on the determinedfirst training impulse value and the determined first level of thebiochemical marker. Herein, the first response value refers to a meansof quantifying the change of the biochemical levels occurring in theperson's body in association with the first training impulsecorresponding to the first physical routine. Indeed this step of usingthe first (second etc.) training impulse value and respective determinedfirst (second etc.) level of biochemical marker has been found asurprisingly good way to form a first (second etc.) response value.Indeed in tests carried out with target persons it has been observedthat usage of only training impulse or biochemical values is notsufficient to provide recommendations. Combination of the trainingimpulse and related biochemical level is found to be workingcombination.

Optionally, the processing arrangement is configured to calculate thefirst response value based on a ratio of the determined first level ofthe biochemical marker and the determined first training impulse value.Herein, the first response value is calculated by the dividing the valueof the first training impulse by the first level of the biochemicalmarker, where the resultant ratio corresponds to the first responsevalue. For example, if the first training impulse is determined to be2000 units and the first level of biochemical marker is determined to be20 units, then the first response level is calculated to be 100 units.

The processing arrangement is then configured to measure, via thephysical sensor, a second intensity of a second physical routineperformed by the person. Herein, the second physical routine refers to aspecific physical activity which is to be performed by the personaccording to the choice of the person itself, where the second physicalroutine can be any physical activity except the first physical routine.For example, the person may choose to run as the second physicalroutine. Subsequently, while the person is performing the secondphysical routine, the processing arrangement uses the physical sensor tomeasure the second intensity of the second physical routine beingperformed by the user. As discussed, herein, the second intensity refersto the measurable effects of the second physical routine on the body ofthe person performing the second physical routine. For example, for theperson running as the second physical routine, the second intensity canbe in the form of the calories burnt by the person where the secondintensity is to be measured using the physical sensor.

Optionally, the processing arrangement is configured to record a secondtime duration of the second physical routine, as performed by theperson. Herein, the second time duration of the second physical routinerefers to the time period for which the second physical routine is beingperformed by the person. For example, the processing arrangement mayrecord the person running for thirty minutes as the first time durationof the first physical routine.

The processing arrangement is then configured to determine a secondtraining impulse value corresponding to the second physical routine asperformed by the person based, at least in part, on the measured secondintensity thereof. Herein, the second training impulse refers to thetraining load which is imparted on the person by performing the secondphysical routine.

Optionally, the processing arrangement is configured to calculate thesecond training impulse value based on the measured second intensity andthe recorded second time duration. Herein, the second training impulseis determined using a formula where the measured second intensity ismultiplied with the time duration for which the second physical routineis performed. For example, if the second intensity is measured to be 200units and the recorded second time duration is of 45 minutes, then thesecond training impulse is determined to be 9000 units. In an example,the second training impulse value is calculated based on heart rate ofthe person. For instance, the second training impulse value (SecondTRIMP) is calculated as ‘ΣHRR’, where:

HRR=(Training HR−Resting HR)/(Max HR−Resting HR);

wherein, ‘Training HR’ is heart rate measured during the physicalroutine, ‘Resting HR’ is the resting heart rate of the person (i.e.,before performing the second physical routine); and ‘Max HR’ is themaximum heart rate of the person (estimated by 206−0.7×age, ordetermined while performing the first physical routine or any otherprior physical routine).

Optionally the second training impulse and the first training impulsecan be calculated using different or same formulas. Different formulasare beneficial if the first routine is significantly different from thesecond routine. As an example if the first routine is weight lifting(amount of weights during training is used for the impact) and thesecond routine is running (number of steps and distance and speed).

The processing arrangement is further configured to determine, via thebiochemical sensor, a second level of a biochemical marker of the personassociated with completion of the second physical routine, as performedby the person. Herein, the second biochemical marker refers to thechanged levels of the biochemical in the body of the person after thecompletion of the second physical routine by the person. Herein, thechanges in the levels of the biochemical in the person occurs as aresult of the performance of the second physical routine by the person.

In the present implementation, the processing arrangement is furtherconfigured to record, via the biochemical sensor, a second baselinelevel of the biochemical marker of the person, the second baseline levelbeing recorded prior to starting of the second physical routine by theperson. Herein, the second baseline level of the biochemical markerrefers to the level of the biochemical in the person's body, recordedbefore the person performs the second physical routine. For example, theperson may use the biochemical sensor before performing the secondphysical routine to record the second baseline level of biochemicalmarker to be 15 units.

In the present implementation, the processing arrangement is configuredto record, via the biochemical sensor, a second closing level of thebiochemical marker of the person within a predefined time interval aftercompletion of the second physical routine, as performed by the person.Herein, the second closing level of the biochemical markers refers tothe level of the biochemical in the person's body, recorded after thecompletion of the second physical routine by the person. Herein, thepredefined interval of time refers to the time period after thecompletion of the second physical routine at which the second closinglevel of the biochemical marker is recorded. The predefined interval oftime may be chosen according to the preferences of the person. Forexample, the person may use the biochemical sensor 15 minutes afterperforming the second physical routine to record the second closinglevel of the biochemical marker to be 25 units.

Optionally, the processing arrangement is further configured tocalculate the second level of the biochemical marker based on therecorded second closing level of the biochemical marker and the recordedsecond baseline level of the biochemical marker. Herein, the secondlevel of the biochemical marker corresponds to the difference of thesecond closing level of the biochemical marker and the second baselinelevel of the biochemical marker. For example, if the second closinglevel is recorded to be 25 units and the second baseline level isrecorded to be 15 units, then the second level of the baseline marker iscalculated to be 10 units.

Optionally, the second level of biochemical marker includes one of: asecond level of testosterone, a second level of cortisol, a second ratioof the second level of testosterone to the second level of cortisol.That is, the second biochemical marker corresponds to either one of thesecond level of cortisol or the second level of testosterone, or thesecond ratio of the second level of testosterone to the second level ofcortisol. Herein, the second level of testosterone refers to the certainlevel of testosterone present in the person's body at the time of beingdetermined via the biochemical sensor, where testosterone refers to ahormone present in the human body. Herein, the second level of cortisolrefers to the certain level of cortisol present in the person's body atthe time of being determined via the biochemical sensor, where cortisolrefers to a hormone present in the human body. In a preferred example,the second ratio of the second level of testosterone to the second levelof cortisol is utilized which is obtained by dividing the first level oftestosterone to the first level of cortisol.

The processing arrangement is further configured to calculate a secondresponse value for the second physical routine based on the determinedsecond training impulse value and the determined second level of thebiochemical marker. Herein, the second response value refers to a meansof quantifying the change of the biochemical levels occurring in theperson's body in association with the second training impulsecorresponding to the second physical routine.

Optionally, the processing arrangement is configured to calculate thesecond response value based on a ratio of the determined second level ofthe biochemical marker and the determined second training impulse value.Herein, the second response value is calculated by the dividing thevalue of the second training impulse by the second level of thebiochemical marker, where the resultant ratio corresponds to the secondresponse value. For example, if the second training impulse isdetermined to be 2500 units and the second level of biochemical markeris determined to be 10 units, then the second response level iscalculated to be 250 units.

The processing arrangement is further configured to compare thecalculated first response value and the calculated second responsevalue. That is, both the first response value and the second responsevalue, which have been calculated by the processing arrangement, arethen compared in order to determine the value which is higher or lowerfrom the first response value and the second response value, accordingto preference of the person. Herein, in some examples, the value to beselected, or the said preference, may be based on the intention ofchoosing between the first physical routine and the second physicalroutine. That is, if the person may be choosing between the two foridentifying more strenuous physical routine therefor, then the higher ofthe two values may be selected based on the comparison; and vice-versa.It has been found out that provided method enables to providerecommendations for various of routines, also when a first routine and asecond routine are not related from sport type point of view.

The processing arrangement is then configured to recommend one of thefirst physical routine and the second physical routine for the personbased on the comparison. Herein, the person the processing arrangementrecommends the physical routine having higher or lower response valueaccording to the requirements of the person, where the first responsevalue of the first physical routine has already been previously comparedwith the second response value of the second physical routine. Forexample, the person performing both the first physical routine andsecond physical routine may opt to use the processing arrangement torecommend the physical routine having higher response value out of thetwo physical routines performed by the user, as discussed above.

Experiment 1

A three person study was conducted. First person had been determined byan expert to be most suitable for swimming, the second person had beendetermined to be most suitable for cycling and the third for runningprior to conducting the study. Purpose of the study was to find outwhich physical routine suits best for each person using a methodaccording to the present disclosure and is there correlation betweenexpert recommendation and the recommendation based on the method.

Each person conducted three different physical routines namely swimming,running and cycling for certain time periods of certain intensity. Thephysical routines were conducted on different days and had 24 hoursbetween the routines. Time period and intensity values were used todetermine a first, a second and a third training impulses for respectiveconducted sport routines.

Testosterone (T) and cortisol (C) levels were measured after eachconducted sports routine (training). This first, second or thirdbiochemical marker of T/C (testosterone (pmol/l) divided by cortisol(nmol/l)) level (value) was divided by the respective training impulsevalues to calculate a first, a second and a third respective responsevalue. Table I provides determined biochemical marker levels as well asa duration and intensity values associated with each of the sports.Table II provides calculated training impulse values (TRIMP) as well ascalculated response values. TRIMP was calculated using equation:

TRIMP=time×Z×0.64 exp (1.92×Z), wherein

Z=(HB−HR_rest)/(HR_max−HR_rest)

HR_rest for first, second and third persons was 60, 55 and 40 beats perminute respectively. HR_max for first, second and third persons was 190,195, 200 respectively. HB is “intensity” i.e. heart beats per minute.

Based on the experimental results it was observed that the methodprovides a surprising way to recommend a physical routine for a person.In this experiment swimming for person 1, cycling for person 2 andrunning for person 3. This is in line with assessment of the expert foreach of the persons. For each of the persons the calculated responsevalue correlated with assessment, made by the expert, of the mostsuitable routine for said persons.

Experiment 2

In a second experiment we compared 4 persons, who participated in tworoutines: a first routine was a training program that lasted 2 weeks,and a second routine was a control program that also lasted 2 weeks. Inthis experiment, the subjects also had a two week wash-out period toavoid potential cross-over effects from the first program.

Determined biochemical marker was blood cholesterol (LDL which should belowered in a favorable situation). The biochemical marker was determinedby measuring cholesterol values from blood samples in a laboratory.

TABLE III Biochemical markers of the experiment 2 (LDL cholesterolmmol/l). Physical Physical Baseline1 Routine 1 Routine 2 Subject mmol/lmmol/l mmol/l 1 3 2.7 3 2 3.7 3.9 3.8 3 3.5 3.1 3.5 4 2.8 2.5 2.9

Training intensity was determined by daily steps. The training program(the first routine) consisted of keeping daily steps above 8000steps/day on 5 out of 7 days weekly. The added steps/day was used todetermine if there was a first training impulse or not for eachparticipant of the test. Because inactive lifestyle corresponds to 5000steps/day, the period exceeded the inactive lifestyle level by(8000−5000) steps/day=+3000 steps/day, and the first routine wasdetermined to constitute a training impulse (+3000 steps/day clearlyexceeds sedentary level, and therefore response.class=1). In fact, thetraining impulse could be classified into more classes, but since thisexperiment only included two kinds of routines, other potential trainingclasses were not considered at this time.

The control program (the second routine) consisted of keeping dailysteps below 5000 steps/day at least 5 out of 7 days and as an additionalcriterion avoiding any physical routines that would exceed the intensityof walking. Correspondingly, the second program did not exceed thesedentary level (5000 steps/day) and subsequently, did not constitute atraining impulse (class=0).

As explained in detail above, based on the first training impulse weclassified the first routine as training and the second routine asnon-training for all subjects (See Table IV). As illustrated in TableIV, the first response value was determined as response amount=(−0.3,0.2, −0.4, and −0.3) mmol/l and response.class=(1, 1, 1, 1) for thesubjects. Accordingly, the first response.amount was favorable(negative) for subjects 1, 3, and 4, and the first routine wasdetermined to represent class training for all of them. The secondresponse value was response. amount=(+0.0, +0.1, +0.0, and +0.1) mmol/land response.class=(0, 0, 0, 0) for the subjects. In other words, thesecond response.amount was non-existing or even unfavorable in everysubject, and the response. class was determined to representnon-training.

Based on the results, the response.amount for response.class=1 (i.e.training response, the first routine for all) was more favorable thanthe corresponding amount for response.class=0 (i.e. non-trainingresponse, the second routine for all) for subjects 1, 3 and 4, and thesystem was able to recommend the step-based training program (keepingdaily steps above 8000 steps/day) for these three subjects. However,this recommendation was not made for subject 2.

Experiment 3

Following the principles of Experiment 1, we conducted anotherexperiment in order to observe the personal suitability of changingtraining principles within the given sports discipline. In this case, wecompared two female runners, both on national olympic level. Both ofthem had active training and top-level competitions during protocol.Both of them were long distance runners, but have different emphasis ontheir talent and suitable training program composition. Another of themmade a national record in long distance competition, another of themscored second in World championship competition—also in long distancerun—during our experiment protocol.

In the comparison, we wanted to see if different intensities aresuitable for genetically different athletes compared by the anabolicindex (as testosterone to cortisol ratio, or T/C) in the evening. Inanalysis, exercises that were either steady state running or intervaltraining but performed on the average same training volume (60+/−5 min;155-165 HR avg) were collected into analysis.

According to analysis (see Table V), athletes reacted differently tosteady state and HIIT/Interval running exercises by the anabolic index(T/C) in the evening. This information is highly valuable in optimizingtraining program and exercise modality as a part of coaching.
